amok: The good news, then, is that your ownership of the game is exactly the same on gOg as on Steam - i.e. you acquire a license to play the game. So while you are dithering here and there with semantics, I guess I will just go and... I don't know... maybe play Assetto Corsa for a little bit? Have fun waiting... I know I will have fun, if that's any help. .
bad_fur_day1: The difference being on Gog, they can take your licence away you can still play your game. Steam they can take your licence away you can no longer play your game. Kind of a large difference there.
nah, steam can not take your license away. In this case, only Kunos Simulazioni (who owns the IP) can take your license away, and that's the same on gOg. Steam can take away access to manage the game via Steam only. And the same goes for gOg games - tgOg can not take away any license, but stop your access to gOg services for a game only.
edit - for clarity, I hope...
